STS-39 Earth observation of U.S.S.R.'s Kamchatka Peninsula and Pacific Ocean
Caption
(28 April-6 May 1991) --- This scene shows a small area of the north Pacific coast of the USSR's Kamchatka peninsula. Flying at an inclination of 57 degrees to Earth's Equator, the Space Shuttle Discovery was able to record photography of a number of seldom observed areas on the planet, such as the USSR. One of Discovery's seven crewmembers aimed a 70mm handheld camera through aft flight deck overhead windows to record the image.
